“I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.” WorldWantKindSoulReasonGodTogetherIndividualReligiousMysteryAtheismAwarenessMoralityCreaturesEthicsEternityStructureRewardsStriveAtheistPositive AtheismTinySatisfiedTheologyAbsurdCherishPortionsDevotedMarvelousGlimpseEgoismAgnosticismAtheisticIf There Is A GodGod And ScienceWho God IsScience GodEternity Of Life Book:Ideas and Opinions Source: Ideas and Opinions

“People are living in unconsciousness, doing all kinds of things in unconsciousness. Everybody is an unconscious robot. We are just pretending that we are conscious; we are not conscious. The moment you become conscious, all unconscious actions disappear from your life. Your life starts moving in a new dimension. Your each act comes out of inner clarity; your each response is virtuous, is virtue. To live unconsciously is to live in sin; to live consciously is to be virtuous, is to be religious. And to live in total awareness is to be a buddha, is to be a christ.” PeopleKindMomentsActionMovingChristReligiousSinVirtueAwarenessConsciousResponseDisappearAll KindsClarityUnconsciousDimensionsPretendingVirtuousRobotsMoving InUnconsciousness Author:Rajneesh
“Wonder [admiratio astonishment, marvel] is a kind of desire for knowledge. The situation arises when one sees an effect and does not know its cause, or when the cause of the particular effect is one that exceeds his power of understanding. Hence, wonder is a cause of pleasure insofar as there is annexed the hope of attaining understanding of that which one wants to know. ... For desire is especially aroused by the awareness of ignorance, and consequently a man takes the greatest pleasure in those things which he discovers for himself or learns from the ground up.” KnowsMenWantKindDoeScienceDesireCausesUnderstandingPleasureSituationWonderKnowledgeEffectsAwarenessIgnoranceParticularAriseIgnorantExceedAstonishmentGreatest PleasuresDesire For Knowledge Author:Thomas Aquinas
“In order to understand people, we have to understand their way of life and approach. If we wish to convince them, we have to use their language in the narrow sense of the mind. Something that goes even much further than that is not the appeal to logic and reason, but some kind of emotional awareness of the other people.” PeopleIfsWayMindKindReasonUseOrderCultureLanguageWishAwarenessEmotionalApproachLogicAppealsConvince Author:Jawaharlal Nehru
